Monday June 24thTo find out more about The Hairy Biker ride in which I’ll cover (hopefully) just over 400 miles visiting the location of over 40 Eastern Angles plays and over 30 regular venues in an attempt to raise £2000 for the company see here.

From Harwich I head along the estuary towards Manningtree via regular Eastern Angles venues Wrabness and Bradfield. Here I’ll be in the heart of Private Resistance country- EA’s 2012 rural tour which chillingly imagined a world where the Nazi’s had invaded and cattle trucks of Jews were being transported to concentration camps via the Manningtree triangle and the port at Harwich.

From Manningtree the day ends with the short leg to East Bergholt -another regular venue and setting for Lord Peter Wimsey and the Bergholt Bells in which Dorothy L Sayers most famous detective investigates the disappearance of a Constable painting from the Old Hall .

As ever on day 3 I’m on the hunt for people to chat to on route:

– fans of either Private Resistance or Lord Peter Wimsey and the Bergholt Bells
– regular attenders of Eastern Angles shows in Harwich, Wrabness, Bradfield, Manningtree or East Bergholt
– the best pub in East Bergholt
